AFP: "Talking" closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras which allow operators to shout at people behaving badly are to be installed across England, the government announced Wednesday. The scheme lets local council workers in a control centre monitor pictures from the cameras and talk to them if they feel they are doing something wrong. [Britain's Home Secretary] Reid added that schools in many areas were holding competitions for children to become the "voice" of CCTV cameras."
